No one should go broke to stay healthy. I believe access to affordable healthcare is a human right for every American citizen.
Three vertically integrated insurance conglomerates now control over 90% of American healthcare, and three pharmacy benefit managers control over 80% of every prescription filled in this country. That is not a market — it's a cartel, and Americans pay the price in premiums, deductibles, and drug costs that keep climbing no matter which party is in charge. I will fight to break up these vertically integrated insurers and break up the PBM monopoly so patients, doctors, and pharmacists — not middlemen — decide what care looks like.
I will work to lower prescription drug costs, expand telehealth so families don't have to drive an hour or wait weeks to see a doctor, and demand full transparency in drug pricing — including clear, upfront disclosure of the difference between the cash price and the insurance price for the same prescription, so patients can actually shop for the best deal. All of this can be done without growing Washington's bureaucracy or raising taxes.
Owning a home in Massachusetts should not be out of reach. I will fight for policies that lower costs, encourage smart development, and help families build wealth without punishing success or driving up prices.
That starts with cutting the red tape that adds months and thousands of dollars to every project before a single shovel goes in the ground. I support permitting reform that sets real deadlines for local and state approval, and I oppose green-energy mandates that force builders to absorb costs that get passed straight on to buyers and renters in the form of higher prices.
I also support exploring real estate tokenization — using blockchain-based ownership structures to let more people buy fractional stakes in property — as a way to open up real estate investment and wealth-building to families who can't put together a traditional down payment or six-figure investment, not just institutional buyers and the already-wealthy.
Families should not have to choose between keeping warm and putting food on the table. As an independent voice, I will oppose extreme policies like the Green New Deal and support balanced solutions that lower energy costs, protect jobs, and move us toward cleaner, affordable American energy.
That means an all-of-the-above energy transition, not a mandate that picks winners and losers by government fiat. I support building out solar, wind, geothermal, and hydro alongside a serious recommitment to nuclear power — including small modular reactors (SMRs), like the ones I've proposed for Brayton Point, paired with data center growth and backed by real ratepayer protections and community benefit agreements so host communities share in the upside. Long-term, I support investing in fusion as the next generation of clean baseload power.
I also support amending the Jones Act to fix the archaic shipping restrictions that make it harder and more expensive to move LNG and other energy resources within the United States — restrictions that drive up costs for New England families who already pay some of the highest energy prices in the country. A responsible transition off fossil fuels has to be built on reliability and affordability first, or it won't survive contact with a New England winter.
A healthy democracy requires that every eligible citizen can vote and that every legitimate vote is counted — and that the public has confidence in the result. I will fight to protect the integrity of our elections through common-sense measures such as free voter identification and transparent processes. At the same time, I reject any effort that makes voting harder for eligible citizens. Term limits, an end to insider trading by members of Congress, and real ethics enforcement are essential so that government serves the people rather than itself. Democracy works best when leaders are held to the highest standards of integrity and when voters can trust both the process and the people they elect.
I will fight to secure the border, end catch-and-release, and reform the asylum process while expanding legal immigration. Most people coming here seek a better life, but the status quo is unsustainable and undermines those who follow the law. I reject both blanket amnesty and mass deportation. I support a bipartisan border bill - something Ed Markey has continuously opposed.
Common-sense parameters that distinguish between those who have built lives here and those who recently entered illegally are essential.
Young people who were brought to this country as children, grew up here, have no serious criminal record, and have contributed through work, education, or service deserve a fair and orderly process. I support a targeted, earned pathway to legal status and ultimately citizenship for DACA recipients and similarly situated Dreamers who meet rigorous standards — while simultaneously securing the border, ending catch-and-release, reforming asylum abuse, and expanding legal immigration so that future arrivals come through the front door. We should not reward law-breaking, but neither should we punish those who had no choice in coming here and have known only America as home.
Washington was never meant to be a career. My Clean Hands Act starts with cleaning up Congress and will be the first bills I introduce as Senator.
The plan's key reforms include:
Congressional Term Limits — Push for a constitutional amendment limiting service to 3 House terms and 2 Senate terms.
No-Trade Zone — Ban stock, crypto or commodities trading by Members of Congress.
Lifetime Lobbying Ban — Prohibit former Members from ever lobbying.
End Regulatory Capture — Bar high-level agency officials (e.g., FDA, SEC, EPA) from taking board or executive roles at regulated companies for at least 5 years.
Single Issue Bill Act — Require all bills to address one topic only, ending omnibus packages loaded with unrelated pork.
Read the Bill Mandate — Make final bill text public and searchable for at least 72 hours before any vote.
No Pay for No Budget — Withhold congressional pay (non-recoverable) if budgets and appropriations bills aren't passed on time.
Dark Money Transparency — Require 48-hour disclosure of contributions over $500 to Super PACs or politically active non-profits.
Ban on Foreign Lobbying & Contributions — Prohibit former Members or senior officials from ever working for foreign governments/entities; close loopholes for foreign-owned subsidiaries influencing U.S. elections.
Truth in Legislating Audit — Create an independent, non-partisan ethics commission with subpoena power to investigate pay-to-play allegations.
End Leadership PAC Slush Funds — Abolish Leadership PACs that allow special-interest funds for personal lifestyle expenses like luxury travel and dinners.
Conflict of Interest Recusal Mandate — Require Members to recuse from votes or sponsorships affecting companies/industries where they, their spouse, or close family hold significant financial interests.
Mandatory Tax Disclosures — Require federal candidates to release at least 10 years of tax returns.
Truth in Spending — End budget gimmicks like "emergency" designations to bypass caps.
Inflation Impact Statement — Require independent analysis of inflation effects for bills spending over $1 billion (or $100 million at state level).
Full Disclosure of Shadow Lobbying — Require registration and client disclosure for anyone paid over $1,000 to influence federal officials.
Universal Foreign Influence Disclosure — Mandate foreign agent registration for anyone pushing foreign agendas (e.g., from Israel, China, Saudi Arabia, Qatar), with no loopholes.
End NGO Funding — Prohibit government funding of activities the government itself cannot undertake.
My bold reforms stand in stark contrast to Senator Ed Markey's 50-year career in Congress, highlighting the need for fresh, accountable leadership.
Americans owe more in student loans than credit cards. I believe in offering real solutions to reduce that burden, such as eliminating usury in the form of compound interest. Reduce the impact of student loans during bankruptcy proceedings. Allow for reasonable caps on student loans while challenging universities who accept public dollars to reduce administrative bloat.
I also believe universities should share responsibility for the debt they help create. I support a system of shared risk, where colleges and universities have skin in the game on the loans their own students take out — when a student defaults, the institution feels it too, through a defined share of the loss. That accountability will give schools a direct incentive to invest in job placement, career counseling, and academic programs that actually lead to employment, rather than simply collecting tuition and walking away from the outcome.
Students must also be offered flexible financing alternatives such as committing portions of their future salary to repaying their loans, and tying those commitments to their economic background, the financial future of their degrees, and other factors until a market rate of degree plus fixed interest is covered.
I support a "pay as you work" repayment option: borrowers pay 3-5% of their income toward their loans, and pay nothing in months they are not working. No income, no payment.
American foreign aid and military support must always serve the clear interests of the United States and the people of Massachusetts. I will not write blank checks. Every dollar spent overseas must be justified with verifiable facts that it advances American security and does not risk drawing us into a wider conflict. Caution and accountability, not open-ended commitments, should guide our decisions.
Over the past five years, the United States has sent nearly $400 billion in non-military aid to foreign countries — $400 billion in cash and assistance to foreign nations while Americans struggle to make rent and pay their electric bills. I will not vote for another single dollar to go to any foreign country unless I am convinced it is in the interest of America and the people of Massachusetts.
Every woman in America should have the right to make decisions about her own body. Unfortunately, that is not the world we live in today.
Since the fall of Roe in 2022, I've consistently supported codifying the protections of Roe into federal law, and I strongly disagree with the Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs. As I said in my last campaign, if national Republicans try to bring a federal abortion ban to the floor (as Attorney General Todd Blanche has promised) I will switch parties and vote with Democrats to stop it.
I support late-term abortions in the case of fatal fetal anomalies and protecting the life of the mother but believe these cases should remain safe, legal, and rare.
Washington cannot wait until it's too late to regulate the most consequential technology of our lifetimes. We need a federal standard that includes a three year "safe harbor" law giving AI companies a consistent standard to meet before additional requirements are implemented at the state level. This would not prevent state Attorneys General from retaining the authority to enforce existing consumer protection laws.
Large AI operators, such as OpenAI and Anthropic must be held to a different standard than small, open-source developers. This includes disclosure requirements before high-risk thresholds involving their models are exceeded. The federal government must set the standard for a safety reporting framework that states can adopt and build upon after the "safe harbor" period expires. National security agencies would be tasked with establishing clear incident-reporting protocols.
Finally, Congress must crack down on the non-consensual use of imagery, artwork, and other content that has been stolen to train large AI models. In addition to civil remedies, AI companies must be encouraged to pursue voluntary, industry-standard cryptographic provenance for synthetic media, rather than adopting government-mandated content controls.
If and when AI encroaches on specific jobs and industries, every option—from professional retraining to universal basic income—must be on the table to ensure that large swaths of Americans continue to benefit from domestic AI production.
The omnipresence of cameras and surveillance systems in modern life must balance community security with individual civil liberties. Any AI-powered system such as Flock must be governed by federal requirements to standardize enforcement. These requirements should include:
Purge unmatched footage within days if it is not matched to an active criminal case or hotlist.
Complete prohibition on the construction of searchable location databases.
Restricting real-time alerts to the most serious crimes including violent felonies, armed robbery, stolen vehicles, active arrest warrants, and Amber and Silver alerts. Minor traffic violations, civil infractions, and debt collection must remain outside AI-powered surveillance in perpetuity.
Requiring a court order or signed judicial warrant to search historical database records, except under immediate, documented exigent circumstances.
Eliminate warrantless fishing expeditions or exploratory queries into specific license plates without reasonable articulable suspicion.
Mandating public annual reporting on system use, including query counts, hit rates, criminal case outcomes, and third-party data requests.
Conducting annual compliance audits by an independent oversight board to verify that unauthorized queries are caught and sanctioned.
Ban nationwide out-of-state database sharing without explicit local authorization, preventing out-of-state entities or private organizations from harvesting local travel patterns.
Prohibit the sale or monetization of data to private entities, insurance providers, or commercial aggregators.

Outside spending $2,286,817 across this race
Money groups spent on their own, not through a campaign. Each ad is filed against the candidate it names, so money attacking an opponent shows on the opponent’s row. Open a candidate to see who spent it.
Support and oppose are each group’s own labels, not a judgment made here.
$1,703,817 of the race total was filed about other candidates, so it would not show on Deaton’s own record.
Independent expenditures (Schedule E) only. Electioneering communications and corporate or union member communications file separately; they are counted for Deatonunder “Other outside spending” in the full finance detail, but not for the rest of the field, so every other row is a floor.
